Glidden

Ocean Breeze

PPG1240-1

Ocean Breeze is a pale blue-white with a clean coastal tint. Blue lift keeps ceilings fresh. The color suits bathrooms, laundry rooms, and ceilings where a plain white would miss an opportunity.

On walls, it will read cooler next to cream cabinets or warm floors. Bright daylight makes it clearer. In dim rooms, it can become a soft gray-blue. Brushed nickel and clear glass keep the effect crisp.
